Must manually refresh Windows Explorer after creating new files/folders in document library

Question

We have just setup Sharepoint 2010 internally for testing and development.

I created a simple document library, and mapped it up in Windows Explorer.

It works OK - it's reasonably fast (at least after I disabled 'automatically detect settings' in Internet Explorer...) - however, when I create a new folder or a new textfile nothing happens until I hit f5 - then my new folder or file is instantly showing. I can hit F5 0.1 seconds after I created the folder and it shows instantly. But it does not show until I refresh.

I have tried on several machines. Any tips or suggestions?

Answer 1

I'm a little confused about what you are asking.

1. Are you saying that when you open the site in windows explorer, and then go to the website in your browser and while on the website in your browser you create a new folder or file, that folder or file doesn't appear in windows explorer until you hit F5?

2. Are you saying that when you open the site in windows explorer, and while in windows explorer you right click and create a new folder or file, that folder or file doesn't appear on the website in your browser until you hit F5?

3. Are you saying that when you open the site in windows explorer, and while in windows explorer you right click and create a new folder or file, that folder or file doesn't appear in windows explorer until you hit F5?

If you are saying #3, which I verified works as expected for me, what version of windows are you using?
